Have you had your machine serviced? If you have sewn a lot and have had it a year, it's probably time for a servicing - you may have a teenie piece of thread caught down in the bobbin area somewhere that you can't see in what we can remove from our machines. Who knows. In any case it will have enough fluffs for a cleaning.

it happens on mine too. didn't for the first wee while, but after a while it started doing it.

I am worried about having it serviced, because if I remember rightly when I bought it, the dealer said something about not needing to oil it. And the only dealer is at the other end of the country. Im hoping maybe I can find a repair manual, and give it to the local service tech

Thank you. That's interesting about the thread numbers. I didn't know 30 was heavier..
Today I am going to try different thread and I'm hoping that's the issue. I will post here about it. I appreciate everyone's comments.
